I’ve often admired this beautiful log building on our way through Williams Lake, but never realized it had a museum in it! What a treasure trove of local history, artifacts, and memorabilia! There is literally a whole log cabin IN this building! The architecture alone is worth stopping to take a look at. Exhibits showcase local history about the memorable ranchers and cowboys of the area, the Williams Lake Stampede, its indigenous people, local businesses over the years and even some of its celebrities (who knew “Elvis” came from Williams Lake?? (; ) There is no fee... but donations are welcome and encouraged. Great gift shop with many unique gifts as well. A wonderful way to learn about the area. I highly recommend!

The South Cariboo Visitor Centre is a charming log building and home of the unofficial "World's Largest X-Country Skis". Located along the 100 Mile Marsh, it's a great stop for a picnic and bird watching. For your convenience, restrooms, wireless internet, fenced picnic area and tons of information are available to you! Ask a knowledgeable and friendly Visitor Information Counsellor for assistance with local or provincial information and you won't be disappointed! Also enjoy a lovely selection of unique souvenirs and books for sale. We are OPEN year round so stop on by!
We walk the path around the pond and arena every day for exercise. 1 particular day, we stopped in to the visitor centre for a peak. We met 2 of the most wonderful ladies. They were so knowledgeable and helpful. They provided us with a folder and completely filled it with maps and lists of festivals as well as business cards of local contractors and businesses. We shopped as well and bought our son some very cool wooden travel games. We also bought healthy snacks and maple syrup and jewelry for our daughters. This place is definitely the coolest little place offering unique gifts and treats.

OK, I admit it. This all began as a pit stop but turned into so much more. First the flower gardens at the visitor center and the statue of Billy Barker was inviting. Yes, there was loads of info but the best part was the museum. There were so many artifacts including household items, forestry, mining and farming equipment depicting early life of the Cariboo. Learned a lot. Thanks.
